A few years I organised afternoon tea at T hreadneedles Hotel for my department’s Christmas party. We sat in the lobby area of the hotel, which might not sound very ground but you haven’t seen the Threadneedles Hotel lobby!

Digital records management isn’t something we spend time thinking about until we need to find a file. If you’re relating to this, don’t worry – most people do. With endless storage capacity and search functions, we aren’t as discerning about what we’re saving and how it’s organized.

The thing to remember with scenario based questions is that you don’t have to give a really complicated answer and you don’t have to pick examples that make you sound amazing. Obviously you have to give an example that shows you in the best light but don’t spend half an hour describing the scenario.

I assumed there would be tasks that I just didn’t finish in the time I allocated myself. However, I’ve found that I do really know how long things should take and I have managed to meet nearly all of my self imposed deadlines.

Growing up in the UK trick or treating wasn’t quite the craze it is now. If only we could cast spells – I’d have a potion for minute writing, automatically photocopying and stapling board packs oh and I’d put a spell on sales people that lie about cold calling my manager! I have mixed feelings about Halloween. Werewolves.

Considering this task is not the staple part of our profession I can still imagine your answer to be ‘quite often’. Your colleagues may be shocked that you have called this meeting because quite often senior managers will ask you to organise an event and think you can just go away and deliver it without any scope or real information.

You don’t hear those horror stories anymore about people being sacked because of something they wrote on Facebook. For assistants who have managers that engage with social media it is important that they have a variety of great images that they can use when tweeting, updating LinkedIn and writing for the corporate blog.

Wordpress is not just a software, but a platform for managing, creating and publishing information on the Internet without having any technical and programming skills. I don't have to schedule anything. And call me old-fashioned, but I still manage my e-mail in Eudora, which behaves in some ways similarly to TweetDeck.

  We make lists so that we don't forget the things we want to do.    Just because a task management system works for your co-worker or spouse does not mean it will work for you.   I've tried my phone and outlook, but I find that I don't even look at those lists.    Stop.

Things weren’t so simple. It didn’t even list the same executor. Most people reading this right now probably have a will that leaves their house to their spouse and their insurance money to their children, but they haven’t covered what happens to their virtual lives and businesses after they die.

Learning how to deal with rejection is tough. Sometimes it’s just your writing that doesn’t fit, but sometimes it’s because your writing has flaws in it. Figuring out these flaws will only make you better. If the response is that your grammar sucks, at least you’ll know what to work on. Look at the rejection as a blessing in disguise.

It’s a long read, but it may just spark some gift ideas you hadn’t considered. I’m also fond of the Fujitsu ScanSnap (mainly because of its ability to seamlessly integrate with Evernote), but I’ve managed to make Evernote and the NeatDesk get along just fine. i’m playing with it now and it looks great so far.
